Most people don’t think of bikes from the innards of Trek’s Madison mothership as being handmade, but this bike, an all-carbon single-speed called the District Carbon is made by hand, and pardon me if I’m a bit teary-eyed, it’s effin gorgeous.

Too gorgeous for me perhaps, with the beautiful belt drive system and the FSA cranks, this bike screams–no, this bike whispers style. I, however, whisper heathen.

For just over $3000 you can pick up this Madone-based single-speed and ride it to your corner office at AIG, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Madoff Investments, Huron Consulting, Burger King.
